In this post, I would like to share how to prepare an interactive map using #rstats and {tmap} package. The first part shows how to make a simple (one thematic layer), interactive choropleth map and save an output as a .html file, which can be then inserted to a website or serve as a stand alone web. A {tmap} provides with a certain interactivity: zoom in/out and map moving, a popup display and a selection of visibility of basemaps and/or thematic layers.
